When we first came to Texas IN old set
tier said, at never rainsin Texas but when
it does it meyer stops" After years OF ex-
perience we have concluded the assertion
was not so utterly inconsistent as we then
thought. -, :,
No doubt this protracted drouth will end
in long spell of rain.
Farms and gardens are being planted,
Mr.. G. Staples recently from Llnno, re-
ports splendid rains in that section.
Mrs. j. Collier, from Copperas Cove, has
been visiting relatives here.
Mrs. Prince, from Blanco City, is the
guest of Mr.. Chenowith and family.
Mr.. W. Harper and family are visiting
relatives in this vicinity.
MIR. G. BENDER has returned from a trip
to Rockwell county,
Three families lately arrived here from
Alabama. They intend locating in this
neighborhood. -.
Mr. j. Crunk, has been confined to his

Miss Rylander, from near Lockhart, ls
assisting Miss Bishop in the school.
Mr.. q. Tuttle has left for Laredo where
he has gone into business.
Mr.. j. Tardy has gone to Arkansas to at
tend u sui Ill COuTI.
We learn Mr.. w. Wooster will leave soon
for his home in Arkansas. AS he seems TO
be q favorite with the young ladies no douDs
they regret his departure very much.
There were five accessions by letter yes
terday to the Christian church. nj.
ANOTHER LETTER.
No rain, no prospect, consequently trade
is dull. The farmers are all busy planting
corn, &c.
The slight check given our school by the
resignation of Prof. Bishop has been nap
pily arranged by installing Miss Mamie
Bishop as principal and Miss Birdie ny
lander of Lockhart, as assistant, The ex-
ercises are now moving along smoothly
under the management of these talented
and efficient young ladies'. We predlct
that rapid progress will be made by the pu-
pills.
Well, Mr.. Editor, as there is no news to
write, we will give you few dots, IRON
our literary society. We met FRIDAY nl9nt
last, at the school house in Martlndale.
| There were fully one hundred on more per-
sons present. The exercises were interest
ing, and were varied by recitations, select
readings. dialogues, music, &c. Miss Lizzie

AUSTIN, TEXAS, March l, 1887.
EDITOR FREE PRESS: week has pass
ed without any special legislation of interest
The greater part of the time has been occu-
pied by both houses discussing the Railroad
Commission bill The House passed the
bill to engrossment but the Senate has q
substitute which will no doubt disturb the
solons there for some time to come.
Several bills of minor Importance have
passed both houses. The bill generally
known Us the Bucket Shop bill has passed
both houses This will have the effect OF
wiping out all concerns" dealing III what
is termed futures"
The big excitement the past week has
been Booth and Judge Willis. Booth play
ed here last Friday night. The trial OF
Judge Willis commenced Monday. Artl-
Giles of address" have been presented aud
his trial is now proceeding before the
House. Yesterday the House was addressed
in behalf of Judge Willis by Judge J. III.
Davis, Judge Carroll and Hon. w. NJ. Wal
ton. These addresses were attentively lis
tened to by large number of visitors, in
Guiding many ladies. besides a full call of
the House. Attorney General Hogg fol-
lowed Judge Walton at O'Clock last night,
is now addressing the House.
A resolution was introduced in the House
yesterday expclling Mr.. II E. Garfield, re-
porter of the San Antonio Express, from the
! House. The resolution created quite SEN
sation, but passed by an almost unanimous
vote
The charges against Mr.. Garfield are OF
a serious character-of misrepresenting and
wilfully and knowingly writing and pub
/ fishing things he knew to be false and H.
belOus in their nature and intent. Mr..
Canfeld is an intelligent young man and

BY GLAD"

"a coat! coat! My kingdom for coat"
Among the visitors Friday evening, we
noticed Misses Kate Breeding and Minnie
Hook, who were students of Coronal in the
days of ''auld lang syne."
Misses Belvin, Otey and Goree paid
visit to the Capital City to hear Booth on
Friday last.
Is it stealing to take paper to the boardF
80, wad some power the giftie gle us, to
see ourses rs ithers see us!",when the coats
The literature examination is still ''to be
continued"
AS day by day we behold certain seniors,
never failing in their lessons, we pensively
sigh and sadly ask, "Whence comes their
laruin' 2"
What makes trigonometry so hard on the
eyes?
1t is whispered that ere many more days
shall pass there will be wedding to break
the monotony. OF course all the students
are going. -,
Why do some MasOns prefer to deal with
W00d rather than stone?
We were the honored guests OF the
"Belles Lettres" Friday, and must say that
the girls exercises were splendid.
Why do boys like Iambic verse;
Wednesday evening the chapel echoed
with the voices of aspiring elocutionists.
Tolu is now used by some boys instead OF
Tobacco.
Kind friends! Have you sweet howersF
For if you have, look, in the next fierce
rush, to have them plucked even from your
hands, torn into pieces, and hurled to the
mercy of the four winds by a crowd OF
frenzied analyzers.
The astronomy class have toiled over the
rugged mountains of Mercury, traversed
